“I thank the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, for his handling of the situation we were all confronted with yesterday,” Saraki said.

Saraki further commended the acting president’s swift and decisive action by putting democracy first before party sentiment.

“His decisive action went a long way towards restoring confidence. It sent a powerful message that the DSS cannot be recklessly deployed against institutions of our democracy,” the Senate President stated.

Although Saraki accused the Nigerian government of being behind the siege, Osinbajo said the government had no foreknowledge of the action.
